New Cal report from last January
March 30, 2010, 11:32:15 PM


























Wild Island











Our time on the first couple of days was spent inside the lagoon popping reefs rising from as deep as 55 meters to only a few meters or even dry on occasions.  The areas looked extremely fishy and although we did manage a fair amount of by catch it was really really really HARD slogging at times.

Dinner












Fish of the trip I would say

Hi Brad, great report and marvelous photography. Thanks for sharing mate. That wahoo is a beast! Well done to Jay.

Are those Weezel poppers? They look quite a lot like Sea Frogs and Craftbaits, or is that the whole idea? :-X

Anyway, looks like a sensational trip.

Cheers
Angus

Pete

He had a reasonable run at the start because I backed the drag off early as I was worried about pulling hooks, but after that he came in relatively easily on GT gear.
